Catch Up

We have been so busy the past few weeks with Thanksgiving, Aunt D's wedding and Christmas stuff. Here are some pics to catch you all up!
Mason and I went on a special date to see Wreck it Ralph.






We met Shana and Mikayla before Thanksgiving to do a little shopping and let the kids go home with them.



We had a great Thanksgiving!



Daddy and Mason hung Christmas lights on the house.









Aunt D got married!!



The wedding was so much fun!

Oh Christmas Tree....

So we got a little excited and decided to put up the tree a little early this year. We normally wait til after Thanksgiving but it always seems like we don't get to enjoy before taking it back down.
The kids really enjoyed helping and they did a great job!









This was where Maddie put all her ornaments, it's only a tad overloaded. haha


This sings Jingle Bells and I'm pretty sure the batteries will be dead by the end of the week, she is wearing it out!


Our attempt at a family photo, Maddie didn't really want any part of it.








Maddie was streaking to her room and made a stop at the tree, she loves to touch the ornaments. I'm almost afraid to put gifts under the tree...


Prettiest little elf EVER!!


Most Handsome elf EVER!!

Silly kids

These two kiddos can be so silly sometimes! They are constantly making us laugh, and I'm so thankful for them!

Maddie thinks its funny to sit in this little cubby. I have found her there on several different occasions just hanging out.

Happy Halloween

The kids had a blast at there fall festival at school this year. Their teachers sent me a few photos.

Mason told me when he woke up that he wanted a mustache like Tony Stark and that he was going to get one at school.



It looks more like a Mario mustache, but he was happy with it!
Maddie got a blue star to match her outfit.



They got to play all kinds of games, had a mini hayride and ate hot dogs for lunch.
Here is mason and his best friend Curtis.



After school I took the kids downtown to trick or treat. It was complete chaos because there were so many people. We didn't stay long because Mason got freaked out by a guy dressed up with a scary mask and a chainsaw. It was suppose to be a kid event, why in the world would they have someone dressed up like that stationed right next to the bounce house. It was crazy, so we left and headed to Nini and Pop Pop's house to trick or treat.
This is the only pic I got of them together and it's blurry because they wouldn't sit still.

Special Visitor

Yesterday afternoon I was talking with Mark on the phone and he said that there was someone knocking on the door. When he looked out the window he was surprised to see his Grannie. She had driven all the way from Arlington to drop off trick or treat goodies for the kids. So I took off a few hours early and brought the kids home to see her. It was a very special and unexpected visit. We dont get to see her very much and the kids had a blast playing with her.
The kids were holding their treats from Grannie.




Opening presents...




Love you Grannie and so glad you came to see us! The kids loved their treats!!

Trunk or Treat

Tonight we went to a Trunk or Treat at a local church. The kids had a blast. Maddie seemed a little unsure at first, but she eventually started holding her bucket up and saying thank you. Here are some pics.









They loved the train ride!


Bri and Drew were there running a game.






Mason did pretty good at this game. He got 3 out of 4 rolls in the toilet.





And of course Maddie had to have a turn. She figured out the best way to get it in :)






The kids had a blast and can't wait until actual Halloween day when they get to trick or treat again.

Crazy Hair Day and Fire Safety

Today was crazy hair day!!
Mark promised Mason he would shave his hair like a Mohawk! He was so excited!!



I decided to try and give Maddie a ponytail Mohawk! She wasn't as thrilled, but it was cute!






Daddy also came to their school today to talk about Fire Safety. This was the 2nd year for him to do this and the kids loved it. Mason and Maddie were so proud to show off their daddy!



Mark was so good with all the kids and only made one little girl cry.



Maddie and Curtis. Curtis always tells his mom that he is going to marry Maddie.



She was so upset when we left, but so excited when we were there.
